The Marietta Square
A short walk from the Whitlock Inn or the Hilton, the area is filled with charming shops, local dining, and plenty to explore. Stroll through unique boutiques, antique stores, and gift shops, or enjoy a relaxed afternoon discovering local favorites, from casual bites to lively bars and sweet treats. Some of Allie and Reid’s favorite spots include Mac's Chophouse and Gianni & Mac's, a drink at Glover Park Brewery, browsing Sarah Liz Boutique, grabbing a casual bite at Taqueria Tsunami or Stockyard Burgers and Bones, and finishing the day with something sweet from Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams.
Tuesday Coffee
A favorite coffee spot of the bride and groom, perfect for a morning pick-me-up before exploring the Square or heading to the Farmer’s Market. Enjoy a seasonal latte made with house-made syrups alongside a fresh pastry to go. Allie’s go-to is the gluten-free, dairy-free muffin, while Reid never skips the ham and cheese hot pocket.
Marietta Square Farmer's Market
Located just behind the Marietta Square Market, this beloved spot is where Allie and Reid first fell in love and remains one of their favorite places to visit. Each Saturday morning from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM, the Marietta Square Farmers Market comes alive with local artisans, farmers, and seasonal offerings. It’s a weekend tradition for them. Picking up fresh blooms, local honey, seasonal fruit, and of course, a special treat for Franklin along the way!
